I visited The Mussel Pot at the Queen Victoria Market over a year ago and I kid you not I still think about these mussels regularly and every time I eat mussels! This was unexpectedly one of the best things I ate on my entire 2 week Australia trip!! I'm not even a big fan of mussels.... but at the market I noticed everyone was sitting at tables just eating mussels out of a big bowl? Such a random meal choice so figured it's gotta be good. Went up to order and there were so many different options I just asked the guy working there what he recommends. He suggested the chili coconut mussels which was not the one I would have picked on my own but went with it. Oh my god these mussels changed my life LOL. They were SO big, plump, juicy, and packed with so much flavor!!! The chili coconut sauce almost reminded me a bit of a curry sauce, not very spicy and very flavorful and it was perfect to mop up with the yummy bread on top. It was so good I'm literally drooling writing this review a year later and I have not had any mussels that can even begin to compare!!!! If I get to visit Australia again I am 10000% hunting down this mussel food truck as soon as I get there! read more

Deciding what to eat at the glorious Queen Victoria Market is a challenge as there are so many options. But since this cool looking food truck had a reasonable line and I love mussels so I decided to give it a go. I was happy to learn that the mussels are cooked to order, so you'll have to consider a reasonable 15 mins wait but it is worth it. The mussels are HUGE, I went for the red wine and chili tomato variety which had a nice kick to it. The slices of bread given were also of good quality. As a Belgian I am biased towards Western European (Belgian / Dutch farmed) mussels so I had better mussels before. But I am always on the hunt for good mussels and these little delicious jobbies were for sure the best ones I had for a very long time. I would even say they are the best I had in Australasia! Combine that with the uber friendly owner and the value for money and for sure this is a winner! read more
